Dear Mr. Johnson:
Enclosed is a copy of the annual D.A.R.E. and Police Liaison Services Agreement for the 2009 -2010
school year. The amount specified in the agreement was verified in conversation with representatives of
your police department.
The Minnesota Legislature has maintained the same amount of funding per pupil for the "Safe Schools
Levy" as last year. We have provided the local police departments who work with District 196 an increase
in funding of 3
Levy funding for the D.A.R.E. program has been capped at $50,000 districtwide by the Board of
Education. This amount is then divided by the number of fifth graders to determine the amount each
department will receive per pupil served. This year's funding is $26.57 per student, up from $25.80 last
year. Based on the 258 fifth graders in the two elementary schools in Rosemount, the payment for the
D.A.R.E. Program will be $6,855.06. The City of Rosemount will also receive a total of $60,429 for
police liaison services at Rosemount High School and Rosemount Middle School.
Taking this into consideration, the City of Rosemount will receive a total of $67,284.06 for police liaison
and D.A.R.E. services in the four District 196 schools in Rosemount.
Please review this document and return the signed copy to me.
Sincerely,
Jill E. Coyle
School District Attorney
